Meanwhile over at Jim Robinson's FreeRepublic.....

...they are waxing euphoric over Bush's upbeat outlook (the one that keeps the staff's spirits up). Of course the brick stupid don't recognize that the insane, retarded, psychotic, sociopathic and just plain moronic usually have that "Sling Blade" moon face on their "happy" pusses. That is until the bulldozer runs them over....

Bush keeps White House spirits up.
The Weekly Standard ^ | March 11, 2007 | Fred Barnes


Posted on 03/11/2007 8:25:35 AM PST by Clintonfatigued


The White House staff reflects the president. This is obvious to the point of being a truism. Yet it needs to be remembered in the context of a Bush presidency smacked by Scooter Libby's felony conviction, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center scandal, and the overblown flap over the firing of eight U.S. attorneys. And of course there's still the war in Iraq, which remains unpopular. Given all this, why hasn't the president's staff drifted into despair and gloom and given up? Because President Bush hasn't.

Bush's relentlessly upbeat demeanor, which he flaunts at press conferences and other public events, infuriates his political opponents and much of the mainstream media. They want him to act like the broken man they think he should be. Sorry, but he's a healthy man, mentally and physically. He's bolstered by his religious faith, his sense of mission, his scorn for elite opinion, and what an aide calls "his really good physical shape." Exercise and sleep help to "keep his spirits high," the aide says.

Bush has retained, despite low approval ratings and fierce criticism, a capacity for enthusiasm. In early March, he spent 45 minutes in the Oval Office in a one-on-one conversation with British historian Andrew Roberts. He had read Roberts's new book, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 (see review on page 29).

"Bush has retained, despite low approval ratings and fierce criticism, a capacity for enthusiasm."
It's called an inner peace that passes understanding.

While the President is certainly a lame duck in many ways, only a fool would forget that he's still the most powerful man in the world for the next 21 months.

I'm glad to hear he's handling adversity with aplomb. It's good to have a "good man in a storm" in the Oval Office, because one never knows when the storm might strike.

It's good to have a "good man in a storm" in the Oval Office, because one never knows when the storm might strike.

Then there will be cake to be eaten and vacations to be taken. Maybe the next storm won't be called Katrina or Walter Reed or Alberto Gonzales or...
